New blogpost: Glorious Garter Stitch
|
If I asked you what stitch you first learned to work as a new knitter, what would it be? Well, chances are that would be a knit stitch.
And what stitch pattern can you work using only knit stitches? Well if you are working back-and-forth on straight needles, then that would probably be Garter Stitch. Every Row: Knit to end. Simple, easy, yet so versatile! Read more about the wonders of Garter Stitch in this week's blogpost here. Btw, the photo to the left shows Anna's wonderfully-named "Ugly Blanket" from her new E-book, Glorious Garter Stitch. To read more about that, please click here. |
New Blogpost: A return to winter and a new scarf
– the Karlskrona Scarf
|
|
It’s been an odd year for weather. Last week in the UK people were sitting in the parks basking in the warm Spring sun but Storm Freya has blown that wonderful sunshine away. Meanwhile in Boston, there has been so much snow this week! A real return to winter.
Well, I for one am not going to stop my winter knitting just yet! So I have just finished up another winter scarf and I can see this is going to be needed straight away. ...

New pattern – the Westernesse Bag
A brand new bag pattern! This is the Westernesse Bag and was inspired by a wonderful walk around a Swedish lake last autumn. The leaves were glowing in bright oranges and yellows and the early sunset just set them aflame. This design seeks to capture those wonderful colours in bold textural stripes of grey, orange and yellow.
The bag is a duffle-bag design with a single padded shoulder strap and lots of room inside for all the bits and pieces you need for your next country walk. It features a braided cord drawstring closure and a large button for the finishing touch. The knitting is very straightforward and I have included step-by-step photos for the inside fabric liner.
